30 Days of Learning Day 3: Molding Big Bird

May 25, 2014

For months, I’ve watched Braeden mold all sorts of clay objects. Today, I decided to learn his process.

1. Search Google images for creative inspiration
2. Open another window for a youtube video and do it again. (The still image is to capture the idea while the youtube video is for capturing movement and detail)
3. Eyeball a “glob” of clay for size and mold it into an “egg” or whatever size is needed for what is being molded.

4. Grab either molding tools or toothpicks to add detail.
5. Also grab toothpicks to attach head, arms and legs.

Check out the video below and you can hear this process directly from the kid himself!
